"I just don't want to work"

Hi all... I'm new to the board and I am curious.


I am in my mid twenties, unmarried, no children. I work in an extremely competitive field with many other women my age. Many of us are making six figures and the job is very stressful. We all have a great work ethic, but sometimes when the stress gets really bad, I'll often hear the girls (never the guys) saying things like "Arrgghh... I'm so sick of work. I just want to marry a rich man, have kids, stay home and NOT WORK."....... I was raised by two working parents (two very loving, caring hardworking parents). My mother was very successful in her career, and I feel that when I get married, I will (like my mom) continue to work and raise children at the same time (my mom was definitely "super mom" ---she did it all and was great!)...... My main question: many of the women in my work stay in the position for about 5-7 years and then leave.....the funny thing is...

I can't find the post but it's in there. There was a list of "sane" colors: white, black, red, blue, green, brown. In another post there was a list of "mentally unstable" colors which included yellow (of course), mint green, purple and orchid.

Some of us like the diversity of living someplace where people aren't worried about their neighbors exhibiting

Mrs. section 8 with six kids could be one of the nicest people you ever met.

Painting a door the color you don't like does not make a neighborhood run down.
